Taha Shah Badussha On Ambition To Be The First Indian James Bond & Whether Sanjay Leela Bhansali Will Helm ‘Heeramandi’ Season 2
'Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar's Taha Shah Bahussha wants to be the first Indian James Bond, he reveals.
Currently managed by Steven Adams’ Alta Global Media and hunting for representation in the UK and U.S., Shah has eyes for Tinseltown, where he hopes his reps can help land him the “meaty, acting-oriented roles” he wants, as opposed to the “comedian” parts that Indian-origin actors have often been given in the past. In Heeramandi – BAFTA nominated director Sanjay Leela Bhansali ’s debut foray into television – Shah plays the tragic, yearning role of Tajdar Baloch, a performance that has received consistent praise amongst mixed reviews for the show overall.
